The day before we had the chance to attend a rehearsal of the show thanks to the invaluable collaboration of the Teatre Lliure.

Fluge and the translator Yan , we were able to enjoy simultaneous translation during the event.
Pascal Mérat
tells us about his beginnings as a lighting technician, his first experiences with dance companies and at the Opera. And how they gave him the versatility to work in different spaces with different materials.
He stresses the importance of his origins in order to be able to talk about his work in “Lear”.
He tells us about the peculiarity of the space, 18m x 5m, with a two-sided audience where he works the light with a concept close to a fashion show.
Bet on the Pairs for general lighting, the ETC Led Cutouts and the Varilite Mobiles. Reinforcing characters and situations with the light cannons.
His influence on the opera inspires him especially for the third act.
